If this keeps up I’ll be writing daily! My last episode wasn’t even a week ago. What the heck is going on? This is such bullshit. Can you tell I’m frustrated? As I look at my progression chart it boggles my mind how quickly my afib has spun out of control. I expected things to get progressively worse (eventually) but not like this. How does a guy go from having one episode a year to having them weekly? It doesn’t […]
READ MOREIs Atrial Fibrillation a Progressive Disease? Ya, I’d Say So…
I was first diagnosed with lone atrial fibrillation back in 2006. Over the years as I learned more and more about afib, the one thing that always frustrated me was that it was a guarantee that it was going to get worse. It was especially frustrating because in the beginning I rarely had episodes. I was crossing my fingers I would get lucky somehow and it wouldn’t get worse. I was different I would tell myself. At the very least, […]
READ MOREA Dream About Afib Triggers an Intense Atrial Fibrillation Episode in My Sleep
I woke up Monday morning at 4:35 a.m. from an intense dream. Ironically, in this dream I was having an afib episode! Is that scary or what?

I’ve always feared having atrial fibrillation while sleeping because I have a hard enough time getting good sleep the way it […]
READ MOREAnother Atrial Fibrillation Episode (Thank God)
What an interesting day yesterday. I had my initial consult with Dr. Natale down in Austin, TX nine days ago. I’ll be publishing a blog post about my appointment soon. I’ve been really busy so I haven’t had a chance to get to it yet but I will soon (hopefully in the next few days). I’ll give you a hint…Dr. Natale is going to do my ablation! I didn’t hear from his scheduling office until yesterday afternoon. I had a […]
READ MOREMy Most Pleasurable Atrial Fibrillation Episode To Date
Well it had to happen. I was hoping to go at least another week or more without an episode but no such luck. At least I got a slight reprieve and was able to go two weeks between my last episode instead of one. This one came on at 9:45 p.m. last night (Monday night). This is starting to get really scary because my last three episodes now have been on Monday or Tuesday night at almost exactly 9:45 p.m. […]
